In 2011, Cyber Monday Events grew out of a dream started by Debbie Bookstaber, president of Element Associates, and EA Vice President, Sarah Peppel, who worked with Jo-Lynne Shane, founder of Philly Social Media Moms, to create a fun, holiday-centered blogging party sporting the latest toy trends and lifestyle products to over 75 bloggers throughout the region.
Cyber Monday is the perfect time to get that last minute holiday brand awareness bang when holiday gift buying is at its height.
Our 2012 Cyber Monday Party had a tremendous turnout! We teamed up with Philly Social Media Moms for an evening full of delicious food, fab entertainment and sensational prizes from brands such as Baby Bjorn, Plan Toys, Rose Romano’s, Toy State, ASTRA, GMH Mortgage and many more! All these Philly mos were thrilled to hear that Urban Sitter was launching in Philadelphia. What do mom’s love more than a night out?
Our Host, Dave & Buster’s
Dave & Buster’s in Plymouth Meeting generously hosted our event once again and provided samples of their newest menu items. The nacho bar was amazing!
Food & Drink Sponsors
Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting put together a fabulously yummy gourmet cheese sampling. They’ve always been a go-to place when hosting parties because they offer the convinence of a larger retail store and the service of a gourmet cheese shop… all at great prices.
And of course we needed something sweet to finish off this yummy food! RoMar Chocolates came out to share their amazing chocolate creations with us. Heaven!! The popcorn was fabulous too – definitely a great gift idea for the holidays.
And what would this all be without fabulous wine! Wine Sisterhood provided wine for the evening. We love their sassy names, like Rebel Red, Promiscuous and Monogamy, of course, but they are so delicious the names hardly matter!
Bai Drinks also once again sharing their wonderful juice drinks.

Attendees went home with prizes like the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib, a gorgeous gourmet gift package from Rose Romano’s Gourmet Toppings, Toystate 007 Remote Control Cars, a Playmobil 5149 Explorer Rangers Headquarters, and many more!
